Holding Her Own - Willow/Angel(us) - (1/10) FRAO/NC-17

Several years ago I started this WIP: Wild Fire . I had been working on Taming Her Heart the first time I rediscovered it and had added to my list of fics that needed new breath. Of course, it went to the back burner and it took a recent comment from someone going through my archives to make me realize I needed to tackle it again.

Unlike most stories I write, I wanted to "re-write" this story in its entirety before I posted it publicly and I can safely say that as a story it grew and changed in ways I hadn't planned on when I first started writing it.

And now that I have that speech out of the way, I bring you Holding Her Own.

Play The Bagpipes Harder

How I Met Your Mother
Day 18 - Sexiest Scene

I was originally going to choose the Barney/Lily scene from "Bagpipes" and share in solidarity with Otemps. But then I realized that something much better happened on a How I Met Your Mother gag reel. Since I'm the one doing this meme, I don't see any reason why I can't use it.

The legendary Marshall/Lily/Barney threesome:


Runners up: Barney and Lily in "Bagpipes." Robin and Barney aggressively kissing on the couch during "Definitions." Marshall and Lily having floor sex in the Pilot.
